buffaloboyinATL Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 By the way, it is fun to review the pre-game predictions of some of the NY/NJ media. Darryl Slater, Jets beat writer (5-2 against spread, 5-2 straight up): This is the Jets' most winnable game since Week 1 against the Raiders. The Bills don't have their top two running backs, C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson, because of injuries. The Jets' offense will (presumably) get a jolt of energy (and perhaps production) from the arrival of wide receiver Percy Harvin. If the Jets can't win this game, and end a six-game losing streak, then all the optimism about how they played against the Patriots will be gone. The Jets desperately need a win. They will take advantage of their opportunity against the depleted Bills, and finally get one. Jets 24, Bills 17 Steve Politi, columnist (2-5 against spread, 4-3 straight up): The Jets show they're not going to let Rex Ryan go into his next career without a fight. The defense plays its best game of the season, Geno Smith becomes a game manager and Percy Harvin doesn't punch anybody. "Let's go win eight more in a row," nobody says. Jets 16, Bills 10 Dom Cosentino, Jets beat writer (4-3 against spread, 6-1 straight up): The concern for the Jets—hahahaha, everything's a concern for the Jets right now—is that last week's loss to the Patriots would be too deflating. But wait! Percy Harvin's here now! That changes everything! Maybe. I'm picking the Jets, but I'm holding my nose as I do it.

3rdand12 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 re: Schwartz.... Marrone addressed that possibility of him leaving in the offseason (I believe a reporter asked about it) and he indicated the replacement, if needed, was already on the staff. He said continuity in scheme was important so they already have a succession plan in place. I think he is referring to pepper Johnson. I missed that. Not a bad place to be for Whaley and Marrone. But that was the plan all along wasn't it? Pepper and Pagac have an eternity of experience and almost as much success.
